Abstract: Abstract Dormant seed embryos in seed banks can experience hydration cycles that subject them to water stress (WS) and then fast hydration (FH). Physiological and cytological aspects of embryos of the Cerrado (neotropical savanna) palm… read more here.

Abstract: Saline stress impairs germination and initial plant growth. However, discontinuous hydration cycles induce osmotic tolerance in seeds and can improve the response of maize seeds to saline stress. The objective of this study was to… read more here.
